Our Mission
The Future is Here
After many years of unbroken commitment and presence on the newsstand; years of sheer hard work, personal sacrifices
and community service, it is most befitting now to raise the stakes a notch higher, without necessarily relenting or taking a
bow since in the service of motherland there’s no end. Having come this far it’s important to re-appraise our position. We re-
affirm our resolve as we did when
Aro News was born over a decade ago:-

"That we solemnly believe in Arochukwu. That Arochukwu has enormous potentials which must be galvanized, synthesized
and channeled towards sustainable development. That we, at the
Aro News are proud of Aro history, customs and
traditions and are deeply committed to their preservation as integral and indispensable part of our heritage. That truth and
justice are inexorably intertwined with peace, stability and growth. That we are distressed by the dismal collective progress
made in Arochukwu over the years in the areas of provision of social amenities, infrastructure, poverty alleviation, general
suffering, women and youth empowerment, literacy and education, erosion of communal values and norms and so on. That
it seems a spell of lethargy and fatigue has hung over the town for nearly a century dispelling and eroding the awesome
enthusiasm, dynamism, commercial acumen, decency and finesse which made Aro-Okigbo one of the greatest towns in the
West-African sub-region until 1900. That the spirit of the age and time which gave rise to the rapturous strength and
growth witnessed in Aro in the later part of the 19th century, almost resembling a renaissance, just before the colossal
plunge of 1900-1902 must be resurrected and articulated properly if Aro is to take its rightful place in Nigeria.”
Perspectives
in Aro History & Civilization…Vol. 1, 2001.

These were our position, vision and drive over a decade ago. That position remains incontrovertibly valid and unassailable
even now.
Aro News stable has single-handedly championed causes, worthy and integral to Aro’s strategic interests. It has
through its agenda setting role raised issues which added up to development and quality of human life. Issues bordering on
education, primary health care, tourism, peace and security, culture and tradition, sports and youth development,
agriculture and food security, job creation and youth empowerment, politics and corporate social responsibility, provision of
social amenities, financial freedom and accountability and so on – all championed within the thrust of its editorial policy and
beyond. Without sounding immodest, there’s indeed no doubt that
Aro News has through its activities uplifted Aro in the
past ten years. There is also no doubt that
Aro News has striven to uplift the dignity of the Aro man – through the
provision of a veritable platform for discourse. It closed a yawning gap; enhanced mutual trust and understanding and gave
a voice for the articulation and synthesization of issues in the genuine development of Arochukwu.

The Future
By ceding the rights of day to day running of the Aro News Newspaper to Nzuko Arochukwu and taking up the new
challenge of opening and running
Aro News International – an online medium, this team has blazed another trail that will be
of immense benefit to Aro. It opens up new vistas, new opportunities, potentials and benefits that are limitless. It means that
Arochukwu has been taken to the global centre stage. Any body can now access information on Arochukwu from any where
in the world. There is now a huge platform for mutual interaction and exchanges among Aro in Diaspora, those at home
and foreigners. This portends huge possibilities; and holds promises that are almost unlimited. Indeed, the future is here
with us, we must seize the opportunity that beckons. Welcome to the world of umu-chukwu.
